MSFS 2024 SU5 Beta VR Test – St. Barts First Impressions

Описание: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 5 (SU5) Beta tested in VR at St. Barts (TFFJ).
In this flight, I evaluate VR performance, smoothness, frametimes, and overall visual quality in one of the most demanding Caribbean approaches.

St. Barts is a great stress test for MSFS 2024 VR performance — dense terrain, water reflections, photogrammetry, and a short, challenging runway. With the SU5 Beta installed, I wanted to see:

Has VR performance improved?
Are frametimes smoother?
Any stutters on approach?
Changes to visual clarity?
CPU vs GPU behavior in DX12?

System Specs:
RTX 4090
Intel i7-12700K
64GB DDR5
VR headset: Pimax (Quad Views + Eye Tracking)

This is a real-time SU5 Beta VR test — no edits, no cherry-picking — just honest performance data and first impressions.
